big TROUBLE in Chechen Chechen President Is Killed in Bombing at Holiday Celebration By Steven Lee Meyers The New York Times Sunday 09 May 2004 MOSCOW — A bomb exploded in a stadium in Chechnya's capital today, killing the republic's president and at least 13 others in a holiday celebration, officials in the region said. More than 50 others were reported injured, among them the Russian military commander for the region. Akhmad Kadyrov, a former rebel leader elected the republic's president last fall in a vote widely considered fraudulent, was the political figure entrusted by President Vladimir V. Putin to wind down nearly a decade of war in Chechnya. His death now plunges the Kremlin's strategy into ominous uncertainty. The explosion, reportedly caused by a bomb planted inside a concrete pillar, occurred at 10:35 as Mr. Kadyrov and other Russian and Chechen leaders attended a parade and concert in Grozny commemorating the 59th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
